How to use the polygon selection tools#
The polygon selection tools may be used to select and filter data points by drawing polygons on charts. They are located on the far right of the Charts toolbar and include rectangle selection and lasso selection.
For example, select the lasso selection tool then draw a lasso outline in the area of interest in a chart. The data points inside the lasso outline will be filtered in and the rest will be filtered out.
Draw another lasso outline to overwrite the previous selection.
To make multiple lasso selections, draw the first one as usual, and draw other ones while holding CTRL.
To de-select some filtered-in data points, draw a lasso outline while holding SHIFT.
To clear all polygon selections, click the
Clear all polygon selectionsicon on the Charts Toolbar or press CTRL+D.
The operations above apply to all polygon selection tools.
